No one? The answer is Morris Fryer, the father of Ferris Bueller's hypochondriac friend and fellow truant Cameron Fryer. Open floor.

Was it his Ferrari?

Nope

Ok, continuing the automotive theme. Who's Ferrari had the number plate "NRVOUS"? And I'm after the owner, not the driver.

The Pink Panther (the cartoon feline, not the Peter Sellers villain), in one of Big daddy Roth's creations, at the start of every episode?

He's got it! Wings, Mull of Kintyre. John Farnham, The voice AC/DC, It's a long way to the top (if you want to rock and roll) All top ten songs that feature bagpipes. Over to you Mr. Cooper

Whoa, steady on there! You've got the title on one of the three songs and you've not got the answer to what links them!!!!

It would indeed! The 1st song is Mull of Kintyre.

No. The song in question, not the preceding novelty song, was a massive hit in Australia and Europe in the late 1980's and is instantly recognisable, I'd suggest, to anyone who's not been living on a desert island for the last 40 years...

Now where would you get an idea like that from?:D No. I'd really like someone to name the songs as well as the link, if such a thing were possible

The link is something common in the songs themselves, it's obvious - even to a non musician such as myself - if you've heard all three songs at any point. It's not the title or artist or any cunning pun therein. Identify the three songs, recall what they sound like or even listen to them again...

They are, yes.

Nope. Identifying the artists and songs first might help.

It should, yes. Force of habit on my part as I live in the Peak District, sorry.

Ok, what links a song sung by the owner of High Peak Farm to a song sung by an Australian who was formerly considered a novelty act and a song sung by a band with at least one member with a penchant for school uniforms and was about the travails of being a rock and roll act?

That was the radar/targeting system fitted to the Blackburn Buccaneer. Where does the wing commander keep his Buccaneers? On the sides of his Buccanhead...

Angel own Tyseley depot and have acquired ReadyPower, the OTP provider, hardly focused on GB passenger stock. Angel have the most rail vehicles on lease in the UK.

I think Angel Trains might have something to say about that...

Does the forum hive mind know where one might find a current asset register for all the Network Rail owned wagons, "departmental" wagons as I believe they may be known as?

Close enough. Enola Gay, the B29 which dropped the 1st nuclear bomb on Japan, was named after the pilots', Colonel Tibbets, mother. Operation Silverplate was the US air force's part of the nuclear bomb project and the anticipated size of nuclear bomb types precluded any US aircraft from...
